Ray Ban 3016- ‘Clubmaster’ Sunglasses

Ray Ban is an internationally recognized brand due to their legacy of producing simply superb sunglasses. Demonstrating an immaculate fusion of practicality and perfect fit with their timeless designs, it is undoubtedly clear why Ray Ban is the world’s leading eyewear manufacturers!
And now….presenting the 3016 Clubmaster! This is a seriously statement-making frame full of artistic flair. It is certainly not for the faint fashion-hearted….
The Clubmaster is probably one of the most individual and recognisable frames ever created. No-one has come close to matching the level of innovative design Ray Ban has achieved in these signature sunglasses. The lenses themselves are small and round and suspended by a wire rim. Then comes the most eye-catching feature: the amazing brow bar. A fantastically shaped sweep of plastic that is flicked and tweaked in a quirky manner that draws its inspiration from the styles of the 1950s. Since this decade was actually a rather conservative era for fashion- it was a time for understated and effortless simple tailoring and couture so little splashes of charm by the way of accessories allowed expression of creativity and personality.
Although the Clubmaster has been around for decades, it existed only in a very limited number of versions; just two colour options were available. However, since a widely celebrated re-launch at the end of 2008, the Clubmaster has enjoyed an expansion in its family and is now available in a selection of vibrant shades. There was a bit of an A-list ‘to do’ thrown for the iconic accessory for which a host of big names turned out …the legendary Kevin Bacon rocked up to show his love for the shades, the beautiful Maggie Gyllenhal whose slightly eccentric style reflects perfectly the philosophy behind the Clubmaster. Joshua Jackson was snapped donning a pair in classic black with girlfriend Diane Kruger working the Top White on Crystal pair…looking fabulous with her outfit of black and white tailored silk.
Due to it’s youthful and avant-garde design these 3016-ers have become extremely popular in Hollywood especially amongst the younger up and coming kids- the ones who just wana ‘stand out’ from the crowd. Such stars include Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, the Jonas Brothers (who between them seem to have a rather impressive selection of Ray Bans!) and the wild, controversial and ever-engaging Lindsay Lohan.
Exuding fun and a sense of liberation, these are a model for those who want a full-on vintage frame with in-yer-face individuality.
Ray Ban are an internationally recognized brand due to its legacy of producing simply superb sunglasses! Ray Bans immaculate fusion of practicality and perfect fit with their timeless amazing designs means no justification is needed to why this brand is set in stone as the leading sunglasses manufacturer!
The ‘Clubmaster’ collection only consists of two frames giving this collection a truly exclusive feel for a truly unique model of sunglasses! The two frames in this collection just scream vintage inspiration! A model for those who do not want echoes of vintage and retro themes with a contemporary twist; but a full on vintage frame! The design of the Clubmaster, is a circular lens which were the must have sunglasses in the 90s and worn by rock n roll legends such as Liam Gallagher (front man of Oasis). The circular lens has a wired frame, but then on the top of the sunglasses is a bold almost bar looking frame on the top of the sunglasses.
The two frames in the collection are almost identical however the bars on the top of the sunglasses are different shades. The 3016 WO365 frame use a retro gold wired frame and the bar along the top is a smart polished black. The other choice of frame is the 3016 WO366, which again uses a vibrant gold wired frame; the bar on the top however is a deep dark tortoiseshell shade.
The Clubmaster collection have a specific niche audience and are for those who want to make an immense style statement with there sunglasses! Due to its unique presence you may forget that these sunglasses (as all Ray Ban frames do) provide exceptional visual quality in terms of being an eye wear product. If this frame appeal to you then order yours now, without a doubt you will turn heads and be an envious figure for pulling the frames off so well!
